I wonder if the original fireplace was blocked off, and rather than renovate they built a new one? Or perhaps they just wanted one in the master bedroom as well. LM, I just love your writing.

I'd love to go inside. Being short, I bet they are just the right size and I'd probably be able to get into the cabinets without a step stool! I live very near those houses and love them!

Yeah great post, always appreciate the random of which you choose. I also like the brick work, that with the Buck Rogers-esque front window. Style. Ah, the famed Sam Fernando Valley.

Its still nice to see the anti-hoa kinda home.

It's a very nice community and neighborhood. Sounds like the area the realtors like to call “Toluca Lake adjacent.” It’s a very nice community and neighborhood.

As the crow flies, this home is approx. 1/4 mile from them (with a fair bit of residential in between), and it has a few neighbors that also are built in this style or close to it, suggesting that even if they weren't all built at the same time, they were all built to have this particular storybook appearance.

I miss the odd, eclectic residential architecture of L.A. Here in Vegas it's all tract homes and the overwhelming style is American Southwest, very boring after seeing the 10,000th exterior.

I think that is right out of the "story book architecture" trend out of the late 50's and very early 60's. I love that.
